A golf ball containing a core, a reinforcing layer and a cover. The core
is formed by a center and a mid layer. The center is formed by a center
inner sphere and a center outer layer. The center inner sphere and the
center outer layer are obtained through crosslinking of a rubber
composition. The base polymer of the mid layer is an ionomer resin. The
base polymer of the cover is a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer. The
thickness Tc of the cover is equal to or less than 1.0 mm. The hardness
Hc of the cover is 20 or greater and 50 or less. The ratio (D2/D3) of the
amount of compressive deformation D2 of the core to the amount of
compressive deformation D3 of the golf ball is 0.98 or greater and 1.10
or less.
